You.com reveals AI Research Agent who processes 400+ sources at the same time

You.com Today launched a new research tool for artificial intelligence that promises to transform how companies are conducting market research by analyzing hundreds of sources at the same time and producing extensive reports in minutes instead of weeks.

The tools called Advanced Research & Insights Agent (ARI), focuses on the $ 250 billion management advice industry by automating the labor -intensive research process that usually requires teams of analysts those days or weeks about documents poring.

“The whole world of knowledge work is changing, and that is a trillion dollar plus industry,” said Richard Soher, co-founder and CEO of You.com, in an interview with Venturebeat. “If every employee has immediate access to extensive, validated insights that previously requires teams of consultants and weeks of work, this changes the speed and quality of the decision -making of the business business.”

10x more sources: How Ari’s technical breakthrough powers Enterprise Research

What distinguishes ARI from existing AI research tools is the ability to process and analyze more than 400 sources at the same time—Roughly ten times the number that competing systems can handle, according to the company. This possibility comes from a new approach to managing context and compressing information.

“The way we are able to find many sources is because we follow this iterative research approach,” Bryan McCann, co-founder and CTO of You.com, told Venturebeat. “We bring a first series of sources back, summarize and make a first investigation report and then collect even more. With every step we compress that information, so we only add new things. “

Ari not only compiles text -based reports. The system automatically generates interactive visualisations based on the data it discovers – a function that you.com of Claims is unique under the current AI research tools.

During a demonstration, Soher showed examples of automatically generated reports about renewable energy that include interactive suddenly that showed market size, growth meter expectations and the mix of renewable versus fossil fuels.

“It puts this beautiful PDF together,” said Soher. “Because it speaks about energy, the useful suddenly that looks at market size, market growth meter, mix of renewable energy sources and fossil fuels, growth rates for solar energy.”

‘Click to verify’: how Ari solves the accuracy problem of AI for business users

Ari offers direct source verification crucial for company customers. Users can click on any quote and the system will emphasize exactly where the information came from, so that the control control checks considerably faster.

“When you click on the quote, it actually scrolls down and emphasizes exactly where it found that fact,” Soher demonstrated. “If your career and your work depend on the facts that are good, it is very useful.”

You.com positions Ari mainly for business customers in research -intensive industries. Early adopters include the largest medical publisher in Germany, Wort & Bild Verlagand worldwide consultancy APCO worldwide.

“We already have several hundred active accounts from every large consultancy,” Soher noted. “We are pleased to work with them and to help them be more productive.”

Dr. Dennis Ballwieser, director of Wort & Bild Verlag, reported that the research time with Ari “has fallen a few days to just a few hours” and praised the accuracy in both German and English content.

Ari comes in an ever -drank marketplace for AI research tools. In recent weeks have announcements of DeepClaude 3.7 from anthropic and various other research -oriented models.

Socher claims that Ari distinguishes itself by extensive, verification options and speed. “For example, compared to OpenAi research tools, Ari has 10 times the sources, but at the same time it is three times faster,” he said.

Unlike some competing systems, Ari does not make decisions about which information is the most reliable, but instead presents extensive findings.

“Ari is optimized for extensive, so if it encounters contradictory statements, it is much more likely to tell you that this source said this, and these sources said that,” McCann explained. “It is not really inclined to take the decision for you about which information is the most reliable.”

In addition to public data: how Ari integrates the internal knowledge of Enterprise

An important aspect of Ari’s Enterprise strategy is the ability to record internal company data in addition to public sources – creating a bridge between the own information of an organization and the broader research landscape.

“The largest thing we are already doing with Enterprise customers is to give Ari access to internal data from their company,” said Soher. “So you immediately get these great dashboards and insights about your own organization.”

You.com uses an unusual approach to the prices of ARI, charged per report rather than based on used computational sources – a strategy that covers costs with business value instead of technical implementation.

“We no longer look at prices through token, but more on a use base, at the actual response level,” McCann explained. “I think more about it if the last piece of collateral that comes out is the thing you pay for – according to Van Size cheaper than it would have cost in the past.”

This approach reflects the conviction of U.com that the use of AI will follow Jevons Paradox– As efficiency increases, total consumption rises instead of falling.

“Of course the training will become cheaper,” said Soher. “But at the same time, when everyone realizes, the more calculations you give a model, the better the results become, it is not even logical to consider one model as the intelligent it is.”

From research to action: Ari’s future as an autonomous company agent

You.com only sees Ari the first step in transforming the way in which organizations work knowledge. The company plans to make Ari more agent – able to take independent actions based on research results.

“As long as we built it, we wanted to make it more agent,” said McCann. “If you have access to almost all the information about something, that should provide a better basis for possible decision -making on top of that information.”

Socher frame your evolution of you.com about what he calls “the four A’s: accurate answers, agents and agi.” He proposes a future in which everyone becomes a manager of AI systems.

“Children who grow up with Siri and Alexa in the house already learn to allocate certain questions to those things,” Soher noted. “Those are the first baby steps to become managers for AI.”

And as those AIs become smarter, we will manage them more carefully, while they give them more and more complex tasks – with research reports, only the beginning of what promises to be an in -depth transformation in how knowledge work is done.
